I’m trying to play music from Spotify in ‘Lossless’ quality on my Sonos Amp via Spotify Connect, but the option doesn’t appear. In the Spotify app, it shows (for the Sonos Amp):

  • "This device currently supports streaming qualities up to 'Very high'."

  • "This device is not compatible with lossless audio quality. To listen in lossless, try changing your device."

I’ve tried connecting via both mobile and desktop (Mac) Spotify apps and have already followed Spotify’s official “Listen in lossless” steps (https://support.spotify.com/uk/article/spotify-connect/).

Has anyone successfully played Spotify Lossless on a Sonos Amp via Spotify Connect, or is this a known limitation? Any advice or workarounds would be appreciated!

 

Sonos announced that Spotify lossless will be available in October. 

From what I’ve seen in Spotify’s rollout, lossless streaming is gradually becoming available across different markets through October, and some users are already able to access it now. I was hoping Sonos might follow a similar timeline, so I’ll keep an eye on updates (from the Sonos side) and see how it comes through on the Amp via Spotify Connect as mentioned in October.

Lossles is available where I live. I can enable it on my Spotify app, but not play it to Sonos. They have not matched roll outs.

I have Lossless as well... so earlier than October. 

Apparently, there’s a workaround. 
 

If you download the Spotify TV app on Apple or Google TV and stream through there (assuming you use a soundbar etc). When it’s playing content just change the streaming quality on the app. 
 

Edit: I’m not sure it’s actually outputting lossless though as the Sonos app doesn’t indicate so.
